Becket's Chapel
Becket's Chapel in Wymondham is a Grade 1 listed building, the earliest parts of which date from the 12th century. It is one of Wymondham's most important heritage assets.
The Chapel reopened in July 2023 following a programme of restoration and repair by Historic Norfolk.
Our aim is to make the chapel a multifunctional community facility that can operate year round.
It is available to hire for meetings, receptions and other activities.
From May to October each year it is home to Wymondham Arts.
Phase1of the restoration (October 2022 to July 2023) involved repairs to the fabric of the building to make it watertight, structurally sound and in a usable condition.
Planning permission was granted on 23 October 2024 for phase 2 which will include an upgrade to the kitchen and toilet facilities, making the chapel accessible to all, and a new extension on the south side. This will house a café and welcome desk, and providing solar power through roof incorporated solar panels. The installation of a ground or air-source heat pump and discrete, secondary double glazing is also planned. These initiatives will make the chapel environmentally and economically sustainable.
We will now begin fundraising to raise over £1million required to make these improvements.
